Jeanette Rankin Quote

I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war.


Upon casting her vote in the U.S. House of Representatives against U.S. entry into World War I (1917)


I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war.

I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war.

I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war.

I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war.
